Beach view is amazing!! Loved the short path to the beach and being able to have our coffee out on the patio in the mornings. Such a perfect place for our family trip. Loved having the open concept living and kitchen area right by the large windows overlooking the ocean. The second story suite had incredible views as well. Thanks, Katie! Would definitely come again.

Great location on the beach

The house was very clean and you couldn't beat the location on the beach. The kitchen was well stocked. The house was also very quiet, just the gentle roar of the ocean right outside your window.
